From Elizabeth Woolley, your Guide to Type 2 Diabetes
Just because you have diabetes does not mean food has to be bland or boring. Here are some food tips and recipes to add some variety and interest to your diet.

Diabetes Diet Control Using a Bento Box
Diabetes diet control using a bento box can be fun. A bento box makes it easier to control portion sizes and avoid processed foods at home or on the go. Bento boxes are a lot more interesting and appetizing than regular lunch box fare. Bento boxes turn meals into an art.

My Top 5 Picks for Best Fruits for Diabetics
Fruits do not have to be omitted from a diabetes diet. Here are my favorite top five best fruits for diabetics. The added bonus is that they have generous portion sizes for the amount of carbs they provide.

Vegetarian Tex-Mex Chorizo Recipe
Chorizo, Tex-Mex style, is made from ground beef or pork or a mixture of the two. It contains spices such as oregano, salt, garlic, chili powder and vinegar. This spicy mix is sometimes scrambled with eggs or fried and eaten on the side. Sometimes it is added to other dishes such as tacos or burrito

No-Sugar-Added Agua de Tamarindo Recipe
Agua de Tamarindo is a popular drink in Mexico made from tamarind pods. It is considered an "agua fresca" or "fresh water" drink. Agua frescas are usually a mix of fruit, sugar, and water. These drinks are similar to lemonade and truly are refreshing.
